Hot Chocolate Cookies

Sometimes a girl’s just got to have her chocolate. I was having a major chocolate craving the other day when I came across this recipe twice – I took that as a sign.

I was working on my holiday cookie baking list and came across the recipe over at Tasty Kitchen and then I saw that my friend Laura at Real Mom Kitchen had posted them too. How could I not give them a try. Someone was sending me a message.

I have to admit that usually chocolate is not my first flavor choice. I love chocolate but would choose lemon or a few other flavors first but today it was all about chocolate. And so are these cookies. Four kinds of chocolate – hot chocolate mix, white chocolate chips, semi sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Despite all the chocolate involved they are not too chocolately at all! The hot chocolate mix gives a mild chocolate flavor to the dough and then the chips are an added bonus.

I think they will definitely make a nice addition to my holiday cookie plate – don’t you? Do you have a favorite cookie you always make each holiday season? I have a little Linky Party going on down below so please link to a favorite holiday cookie recipe on your blog!

LeighAnne,
These look like just what I need for my cookie exchange this weekend. How many cookies will a batch make? Thanks for sharing! I just finished a batch of reindeer bark! You’re my favorite recipe source.

These sound delicious and I love the idea of adding marshmallows. This may sound like a silly question, but would you add the marshmallows before or after you bake? I assume before, but not sure if the oven would burn them…

Leigh Anne – The whole house smelled like hot chocolate while these were baking and after. These cookies are absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe. Would like to know about the marshmallows, did not try though.

These may be my family’s new favorite cookies! I’ve made them 3 times now — once for book club where they were a big hit. This last time I used peanut butter chips and white chips instead of the chocolate chips, and they were really good that way, too! =) Thanks for another great recipe!!
